Chapter 87

3. My Anger & Frustration

SKYLA.

The next hour is a blur. Never have I experienced so many emotions one after the other.

We reached the Sangue pack fast enough, but it felt like forever, and I was straight away taken to the hospital – to Royce.

The pain was easing up by then and it gave me hope that he’s going to be ok.

Even then, seeing Kataleya and Leo himself tending to Royce, with his sleeves pushed up, as he commanded the others.

But the intense surge of lightning that was crackling around Royce’s body made it impossible for others to be able to tend to him without getting electrocuted.

Kataleya was in her zone, as she stitched him up to help with the healing. She can’t hurt a fly, but when it comes to having to deal with blood and gore, she is swift and efficient.

I feel fucking useless as Azura stands there staring at the moon, wanting the time to heal him to come, all while Leo and Kat stabilise him.

“He’s surviving on his own Sky. He will make it.” I remember Leo telling me.

I remember Kataleya saying Mama didn’t answer her phone, but they had gotten through to Dante, although I don’t know what was said.

The rest of the bullets are removed from his chest, and he is given two more injections before both Kat and Leo step back.

Now we wait for the moon to peak, but Azura is pacing the room waiting impatiently.

Is this how he felt the other night when I had almost died and to think tonight… he almost died.

How it happened is beyond me, but only Royce has the answers to that. His two men are standing outside the room, clearly worried and confused, but Leo has made it clear that until Royce wakes up, no one is to say anything or report back. They agree but demand to be told once Royce wakes up.
